Thanks to all, that's what I thought too.

I'm a stoneware potter who teaches at a college where we fire
earthenware temps. You can't believe how much I've learned from
this experience. Some of which I've been able to use at my own
studio. As a teacher you're always learning along with the kids.

I cleaned out all the lead, one 2 pound bag, when I began to
update the MSD sheets last year. But I've always wondered
why some potters still use the stuff if it isn't safe. I guess that's
their
concern, not mine, as long as I don't eat off their pieces.

Hey. Arti, have someone get some clay into your hands,
no better therapy than clay!

Thanks again,
